Allies

DEAR ALLIES,

My wife, Jenn, and I have a five-year-old, Anna, and another on the way, due in December. It has been extremely difficult to find high-quality books that depict families like ours. (Like us, many LGBTQ+ families have mastered the art of changing pronouns on the spot so that our kids can believe some of their cherished stories include families like ours - until Grandma comes over and outs us with the original language.:)

It has also been too hard to find stories that depict the wide range of beautiful humanity existing within and outside of our communities.

You are our dearest supporters, family and friends. We're grateful that you join us

How many high-quality books do you have with LGBTQ+ characters or families? Whatever the number is, you are most likely reading here because you agree that it's not enough. Not to mention all the beautiful diversity existing within our families that remains invisible in most of today's offerings . . .

Like most change throughout history, change will occur when we organize ourselves, with our allies, to assert our collective power. There are enough of us to accelerate change in the children's book industry, but only if we ensure we're counted.

Please listen to our quick video below. Then please share your story too - about why it's important to you to have beautiful books that include your family and the so many other diverse children and families of our world.
